from
Wikipedia
The car had a significant effect on the culture of the middle class.
As other vehicles had been, automobiles were incorporated into artworks including music, books and movies.
Between 1905 and 1908, more than 120 songs were written in which the automobile was the subject.
Novels celebrating the political effects of motorization included Free Air by Sinclair Lewis.
Where earlier mass media had made heroes of Casey Jones, Allan Pinkerton and other stalwart protectors of public transport, new road movies offered heroes who found freedom and equality, rather than duty and hierarchy, on the open road.
